Here's a script for you to run from the editor. Replace the class with what you want and it will pull it from the config.
If you want it to log to your local RPT in AppData for easier copying then you can replace the hint with diag_log.
VClass = "srifle_DMR_02_F"; hint (getText(configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> VClass >> "Library" >> "libTextDesc")); 
For example:
 
You have to change the CfgWeapons to the correct Config depending on the item also.

Cigar Box Guitar
Maybe Craftable with other items in the game? The big thing about them in real-life is the customization of them.

 
Songs:
The cigar box guitar was originally used to play the blues, and it is still pretty fitting.
These two songs actually fit the game I feel rather well and it would be great if someone could do a well-recorded cover of them.

In Arma there is no camping, only strategic waiting

He is still a WIP, I don't expect to have him finished and in game until at least 0.5. The idea is to make him a very rare event, so first we will be adding more antagonists and refining our AI.

Only if licence allows porting assets to Arma 3 (which would kill standalone), otherwise I don't see any of this happening. Can't think of any reason to use older engine from scripting point of view, once you've dived in A3 scripts there's no going back to stone age.

I keep saying this, AiA needs to be promoted properly on the download page.

The current download page doesn't even explain what you need it for:

Looking for modelers, animators. I want to finally make instruments in Arma 3 Epoch a thing, and I want to collaborate to get it done.
~ Tasks ~
I need custom models of various instruments (Acoustic Guitar, Cigar Box Guitar, Harmonica, Fitting Instruments)
I need someone who is able to create animations of the instruments being played, and transitions between playing and resting in different positions.
I should be able to package the mod myself, then it will be submitted to the Epoch Dev Team for hopeful addition to the mod.
 
We can collaborate in this thread to help each other make this a reality.

No, but I think this will make things more interesting with boat play being an essential piece of travel.

So you're not in it for the money, but if you win a competition where there's prize money, you become a hypocrite?
 
Now that some grade A fuzzy logic you're throwing around there.

Regarding no loot in crate. Dwarfer already posted as to why this is happening. Please read his post here
 

 
 
@mjolnir Maybe it is the placement of the text in your init? This is mine
 



 
Not really sure what could be going wrong if you followed all the instructions properly. Did you just upload the VEMF.pbo directly into the epochhive addons folder without de pboing it, and just use all default settings?
 

The problem is with the 0.3.0 update the getArray (configFile >> "cfgLootTable" >> "Scopes" >> "items" no longer return a single array x,y,z it now returns a multidimensional array
 
x[1][2],
y[1][2],
z[1][2]
 
So rather than doing "_item = select 0;" you now need todo "_item = (_item select 0) select 0;"
 
Should be fairly easy to fix now you have that info :-)

There have many bugfixes since the initial release of the 0.3.x client files and we will have more fixes to come soon. A Client side hotfix build will likely be released in about 2 weeks to roll up any client side fixes.   Now for the best part, A small taste of what you can expect from future major milestone updates (0.4,0.5,...): Advanced crafting with total UI overhaul fully extensible and customizable. [Released] Refined P2P and NPC trade systems. More Custom Base building objects and base building refinements. More server and user configurable options. [Released] Documentation on backend DLL calls and usage. [Released] More antagonists and AI refinements. CRC check and server file obfuscation removed. [Released] Custom Vehicles, Weapons, Uniforms and apparel. Custom map based in America. Linux server support. [Released] Bugfixes and much more. Download server files here: http://epochmod.com/download_server.php

Now that 0.3 is out I'm going to be working on trying to get this updated and add in the new content I have.
 
Why must a job be so time consuming?

The other way would be to add it serverside with a loop. DZMS uses this method.
 
This way there are no mission-sided files, and everyone sees the marker. Join In Progress players see it when it refreshes in 25 seconds.
//Lets start the timer _run = true; while {_run} do { [25,5] call DZMSSleep; // sleep 25 seconds //If the marker exists (meaning the mission is active) lets delete it and re-add it if (!(getMarkerColor "DZMSMajMarker" == "")) then { deleteMarker "DZMSMajMarker"; deleteMarker "DZMSMajDot"; //Re-Add the markers _nul = createMarker ["DZMSMajMarker", DZMSMajCoords]; "DZMSMajMarker" setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; "DZMSMajMarker" setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE"; "DZMSMajMarker" setMarkerBrush "Grid"; "DZMSMajMarker" setMarkerSize [175,175]; _zap = createMarker ["DZMSMajDot", DZMSMajCoords]; "DZMSMajDot" setMarkerColor "ColorBlack"; "DZMSMajDot" setMarkerType "Vehicle"; "DZMSMajDot" setMarkerText DZMSMajName; }; //Lets do the same for the minor mission if (!(getMarkerColor "DZMSMinMarker" == "")) then { deleteMarker "DZMSMinMarker"; deleteMarker "DZMSMinDot"; //Re-Add the markers _nil = createMarker ["DZMSMinMarker", DZMSMinCoords]; "DZMSMinMarker" setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; "DZMSMinMarker" setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE"; "DZMSMinMarker" setMarkerBrush "Grid"; "DZMSMinMarker" setMarkerSize [150,150]; _zip = createMarker ["DZMSMinDot", DZMSMinCoords]; "DZMSMinDot" setMarkerColor "ColorBlack"; "DZMSMinDot" setMarkerType "Vehicle"; "DZMSMinDot" setMarkerText DZMSMinName; }; //Now we wait another 25 seconds };
